Information management: A practical view

Abstract

The expression ‘information management’ has been around for some time, but at last it seems to be catching on in a big way. It features increasingly in the titles of papers in the literature of information science and librarianship (see for example the programme for the 1984 Aslib Conference), and that of management. New journals and new textbooks on information management are proliferating. Courses in information management are being offered at certain universities and at least one business school. Last year, Aslib changed its name to become the Association for Information Management. It would appear that IM has well and truly arrived.
